This was second editorial i wrote in Sept- Nov edition, it makes light of the efforts with customers we make
"......
Mr Honcho head of the Big corporate growled at us, he could have very well afforded to be smug in discovery of his own greatness, we were three Mr. Biz manager, Mr. Marketing manager and poor me the account manager and we bowed deferentially almost grovelling like typical south asian parents out for ‘match making’ for their ward, this was the exact time of the year when everyone in our company goes groom hunting…….aka…. customer meetings.
Mr. Honcho looked at us enquiringly Kennedy like “Ask not what your customer can do for you…” we agreed vehemently nodding in agreement frantically, and than he thundered Martin luther style “ I have a dream” we knew start of a nightmare but in obamasque way we declared “Yes we can”!!
Marriage was done! Customer was ours!
In negotiation handing out so much and losing almost everything except the clothes we wore! we trooped out triumphantly celebrating our own funeral procession, humming like nursery kids
Jack and Jill
When in Cargill
Went up the hill to fetch a customer !!!
Hurtling they came down
Albeit With a broken crown
But you bet the customer came tumbling after !!!

Sales folks are indeed pitiable & irritating sometimes. Especially the small time ones calling from India selling American products. I am getting a call from one Rahul three times a day with caller id claiming him to be Google Guy. HE has been trying to sell me dish network and hindi programming. How do I get rid of him?
these calls are banned these days if you feel like
Entertaining and Engaging.
Felt like a barati, attending.
